What does that mean?” “Well, it’s to do with the speed at which the rust attacks the subframes, mind you, all the other Dolomites are the same.” My mother had a ‘74 Dolomite 1850 Auto. Lovely car but.... It replaced her brown Allegro, known in the family as The Toad. -- Last edit: 2020-09-16 09:31:57

Snap, our '74 1850 auto replaced an Egg roll, an early quartic one that was bloody awful, our 1st ever car with a radio, that you couldn't hear above 60 because of wind noise. . The Dolly rusted around the arches and the matt black panel on the boot lid disappeared, I was too young to consider how bad it was underneath. Much later, a mate had a brown Allegro, it was known as the flying turd.
